How to control the recognition of UIPanGestureRecognizer? - iphone

Question

For UITapGestureRecognizer, you can set number of taps required to control the recognition of the UITapGestureRecognizer. If you set numberOfTapsRequired to 2 and user taps only once, then the UITapGestureRecognizer won't be triggered.
My question is How about for UIPanGestureRecognizer? How to control its recognition?
I have a view. Once I set a UIPanGestureRecognizer to it, any dragging will trigger the action. But what I want is only the dragging in X-axis. And for non-X-axis dragging, all touch events should be sent to other views underneath.
How can I do it?
THanks

Answer 1

Set its delegate and implement
- (BOOL)gestureRecognizerShouldBegin:(UIGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer;
Then use
- (CGPoint)velocityInView:(UIView *)view;
on the gesture recogniser to calculate whether the gesture recognizer should handle it or not.

Answer 3

UIView *holderView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, image.size.width, image.size.height)];
UIImageView *imageview = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:[holderView frame]];
[imageview setImage:image];
[holderView addSubview:imageview];
UIPinchGestureRecognizer *pinchRecognizer = [[UIPinchGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:#selector(scale:)];
[pinchRecognizer setDelegate:self];
[holderView addGestureRecognizer:pinchRecognizer];
UIRotationGestureRecognizer *rotationRecognizer = [[UIRotationGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:#selector(rotate:)];
[rotationRecognizer setDelegate:self];
[holderView addGestureRecognizer:rotationRecognizer];
UIPanGestureRecognizer *panRecognizer = [[UIPanGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:#selector(move:)];
[panRecognizer setMinimumNumberOfTouches:1];
[panRecognizer setMaximumNumberOfTouches:1];
[panRecognizer setDelegate:self];
[holderView addGestureRecognizer:panRecognizer];
UITapGestureRecognizer *tapRecognizer = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:#selector(tapped:)];
[tapRecognizer setNumberOfTapsRequired:1];
[tapRecognizer setDelegate:self];
[holderView addGestureRecognizer:tapRecognizer];
[self.view addSubview:holderView];

Assume that your gestureRecognizer triggers the action _panRecogPanned below. You can see how the center of a subview ( the view that carries the gesture recognizer itself) moves following the transition. To disable panning on y axis, you simply set the center as the calculated new center, whereas the translation.y is omitted.
To move other subviews on the y axis, get their frame, update their origin.x property and reset the frame, they should follow your finger only on the y axis.
- (IBAction)_panRecogPanned:(id)sender{
CGPoint translation = [_panRecog translationInView:_statementFilterView];
//This subview only moves horizontally
_panRecog.view.center = CGPointMake(translation.x + _panRecog.view.center.x, _panRecog.view.center.y);
//This subview only moves vertically
CGRect newFrame = anotherSubview.frame;
newFrame.origin.y = anotherSubview.frame.origin.y + translation.y;
anotherSubview.frame = newFrame;
[_panRecog setTranslation:CGPointMake(0, 0) inView:self.view];
}
